HYDROCARBON INCANDESCENT LIGHT.

i Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aprn 21, 1908.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, VICTOR H. SLINAcK, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at the city' 0f Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain newA and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon Incandescent Lights, of which the following is a specification.

Objects of the present invention are to improve the draft at the main or lighting burner and to insure proper combustion at the sub or heating burners to protect theglass 1s a plied for lighting the light; to admit aib ample supply of air in close proximity with the point of ignition at the lighting burner;

to prevent the lighting torch flame from get-- ting under the skirt of the mantle at the burner head; and to provide a simple, com? The fitting comprises a spider 1, having at' its center a horizontal flange 2, and an u right flange 3. Sup orted at the ends of the arms oil the spider t vided at its top rim with a'chimney carrier 5, and at its lower rim with a guard 6, for protecting the sub-jets which burn at 7, from drafts. The curved wall of this cylinder is provided with air intakes, slots or openings 8.

In use the spider is placed over the burlnlr e burner ca 9, is placed over the burner head and its s rt overhangs the flange 3. The chimney 10, is arran ed in the chimney carrier 5, and the mantIe 11, occupies substantiallythe position shown. The openings 12,

under the skirt of the ere is a cylinder 4, pro

between the arms of the spider afford a passage by means of which the sub-jets 7, if accireason of its position, shields the sub-jets from drafts and prevents their accidental eX- tinguishment. The openingsl 8, by admittlng a supply of air close up to the burner ead, insure excellent combustion. The horizontal flange 2, prevents currents of air or drafts from the lighting torch from getting mantle, thus avoiding its breakage. The horizontal portion 13, as well asthe rest of the chimney carrier, preventthe hot flame of the lighting torch from impinging directly upon the glass chimney whereby breakage of the latter is obviated.

Having thus described the nature and objects of my invention, what I claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

-1. A fitting for hydrocarbon incandescent lights comprising a spider having at its center a ring and an upturned cylindrical flange, and a peripherally slotted cylinder carried by the arms of the spider and having at its top rim a'chimney carrier and at its bottom rim an imperforate sub-jet guard, substantially as described.

2. IA fitting for hydrocarbon incandescent lights comprising a cylinder having a slotted surface and having at its top rim a chimney carrier and at'its bottom rim an imperforate sub-jet guard, and a crosswise ranging plate intermediate of said rims and having a central 4opening and other openings arranged around it, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.

VICTOR H. SLINACK.
